Looking at the base of the poster adorned with Luis Ocana you will see that he is riding a Titalite Speedwell bicycle. I did not know this but Speedwell bicycles were made here in Birmingham and more specifically Witton, only paces from where I spent my early years.

Does anyone have more info on Speedwell? As the scale of this find is massive for me! I would love to find out more on this Birmingham based manufacturer but the trusty net does not yeild great information on this occasion.

So it is finally built and what a good job Hardy has done with it, That H plus Sons with the gold nipples looks hot to death! According to the man himself it is not quite finished, another H plus Sons on the rear and a set of black Nitto drops will finally put a cap on it. Word up Homie, you have finally succumbed to the aesthetics and benefits of the drops, you won’t regret it.

Yesterday I had a quick razz on the enigma and I can say that it is as stiff and responsive as any bike I have ridden and pretty damn light too although I don’t know how I am feeling about the unorthodox toe clip ( less ) toe straps but if it works for Hardy then I am good with it.
